RENO, NV--(Marketwire - September 27, 2007) - General Metals Corporation (OTCBB: GNMT)
(Frankfurt: GMQ) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that Drift
Exploration and Drilling began Phase 1 drilling on the Company's
Independence mine in Battle Mountain, Nevada. This overall drilling program
will take place in stages, beginning with the first 25 holes at an average
depth of about 400 feet (10,000 feet).

Sam Nunnamaker, P. Geo in charge of Phase 1 exploration drilling, said:
"This drilling program is specifically designed to add information on
continuity of mineralization that has already been identified from previous
drilling efforts. The 80 plus existing shallow holes gave us an estimated
235,000 ounces of gold and 2,500,000 ounces of silver according to the
reports, but they are not 43-101 or Industry guide 7 compliant. Our
objective with the next 100 or so holes is to end up with a working mine
model that is Guide 7 compliant giving us proven and probable
reserves/resources."

Company president and CEO, Steve Parent, said, "Our focus is on development
of the open pit mining and processing facility at the Independence mine and
to establish a near term cash flow. We are also evaluating near term
production acquisitions in Mexico and looking at additional opportunities
in Ghana, West Africa, where the Company controls a full prospecting
license covering 150 sq. km."

Dan Forbush, Company CFO, says: "With proven and probable resource/reserve
guidance, the industry will be able to accurately forecast how long our
proposed heap leach operation will produce cash flow. These factors
together become strong foundation blocks upon which to build a mining
company. We built Glamis on 25,000 ounces annual production to a much
larger mining company and it is our objective to do the same here at
General."

Drilling results will be published as available over the next several weeks
and these results will be used to generate a comprehensive report under SEC
Industry Guide 7 over the next few months at the conclusion of Phase 1.
